Conveniently located in the Christian sectiion of the old city. It's a 5 minute walk from the Bab Sharqi, and 10-15 mins to the Umayyad Mosque. The exterior is nothing special, but interior is charming. Rooms are confortable - though for the rooms at ground level, it's hard to get sunlight in the mornings. Staff were helpful and friendly.

We were delighted by this hotel. Like another reviewer, we were lucky enough to get Room 1, which is really special, but we were with a small group and everybody had a really nice room. The interior courtyard is a delightful feature, an ideal place to have a drink and relax at any time. It was unseasonably cold and wet... more

We arrived in the middle of the night so were a little disorientated to say the least. We were given room 1 which was absolutely superb. Very large room, four poster bed, sofa and comfortable chairs and a beautiful fountain! Bathroom was very modern, clean and a great shower. Breakfast was basic but adequate - a more traditional Syrian breakfast.... more

a perfectly marvelous hotel with everything a traveling heart could desire. A glimpse into what we as humans can only imagine paradise must possess. Not only in aesthetics but also of humanity. As you open the door you enter into an urban oasis of scents and sounds of trickling water from the fountain courtyard space. Rooms are decorated in oriental... more

After a hot day in exciting Damascus, Oriental hotel is the perfect haven. Beautiful rooms, very clean, big bathrooms, excellent service, a quiet, cool garden and a popular restaurant with good food and live music. more

This is a lovely old Damascene mansion converted into an intimate, stylish boutique hotel. We stayed here twice, in two different rooms; each was unusually large, nicely appointed and comfortably airconditioned (a very important consideration in August). The ground-floor rooms open onto a lovely courtyard with a small fountain and comfortable chairs. The restaurant, which was jam-packed on a Thursday... more

This hotel is in the heart of the Christian quarter of the old town, so everything is nearby, including all the best restaurants The restaurations are well done, the rooms comfortable and you are not woken by the muezzin (the church bells come at a more civilised hour) Yes, the bath is small but the rooms are not The breakfast... more

A dark door in an alley should not put you off this traditional converted Riad style home, with an adjacent restaurant. Located 40 metres off the street that is straight, which leads directly to the souk, there are small shops, juice bars and restaurants nearby. The rooms have aircon and en suite, but dont expect to stretch out in the... more
